<br />recommending approval of Resolution No. 3, Series 2000. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br /> <br />Commissioner Thompson asked if the neighboring property to the south will now be allowing <br />handicapped access with a ramp. Ken Johnstone stated that they will presumably be using some <br />existing ramp structures and decking. The design goes across the 700 Front Street property and it <br />benefits both properties in terms of handicapped access. <br /> <br />Commissioner McAvinew asked if Public Service will be moving meters and a gas line at their <br />expense. Johnstone stated that was his understanding that they would be relocating the gas lines <br />and the meters. <br /> <br />Applicant Presentation: <br /> <br />Rob Fisher, New West Architecture. Mr. Fisher stated that they do not have any problems with <br />any of the Staff recommendations and they would be happy to meet them all. The applicant <br />would like to provide as much landscaping as they can. However they feel that the area will <br />probably be taken over by some of the employees from both buildings as a lunch area. Therefore <br />any grass would be worn out so the other option would be to pave the area. Fisher does not want <br />to pave it but realizes that it will be worn out otherwise. <br /> <br />Members of Public: <br /> <br />Rich Carlisle is the owner of the building to the north and feels that there should be more room in <br />between the buildings. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br /> <br />Commissioner Lipton asked where the front door is located. Mr. Fisher replied that it is in the <br />center of the building. Lipton is concerned that the entryway is not identified very well and asked <br />for the applicant to revise the plans. Lipton would like to see more variation in the colors of the <br />building that would make it not so dark. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lipton also asked about the pitched roof and whether there would be a gutter <br />system to catch rainfall and where the leaders would empty out. Mr. Fisher stated that he would <br />talk to their Civil Engineer to take the piping underground into a sump pump system and then <br />pump it out the back of the building. <br /> <br />Commissioner Boulet agrees with the points that Commissioner Lipton has raised. Boulet would <br />also like to see more detailing along the ground level that would serve to identify the entrance <br />more than just having a gable on the second story for people to figure out where the entryway is. <br />He would like to see some type of small feature over the entryway to identify it and improve the <br /> <br /> 7 <br /> <br />
